About Riddlewood Manor
Riddlewood Manor is a spooky point-and-click adventure from Peanut Button, released in 2025. It blends horror and mystery as you explore a haunted estate to purge spirits and uncover a family’s cursed past. The game leans into classic adventure tropes with a VR-friendly twist, available on PC, Mac, and Meta Quest devices. You play as a paranormal investigator navigating dimly lit halls, solving puzzles to survive encounters like a possessed doll. The vibe is eerie but playful, more Goosebumps than full-blown terror. Ideal for fans of methodical puzzle-solving and creepy atmospheres.
Gameplay
You spend most sessions clicking on objects to interact, collect items, or trigger animations. Puzzles often require combining items in clever ways, like using a flashlight to reveal hidden symbols or luring a spirit into a trap. The Meta Quest versions add motion controls for picking up objects, which makes the spooky moments land harder. Combat isn’t a thing; you avoid threats through stealth or timing. Each room feels like a contained mystery, with dialogue options that rarely matter. The game slows when you’re stuck, but the 6-8 hour runtime keeps it from dragging.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.2/5, with 72% completing the story. Average playtime is 9 hours, but 35% quit before finishing. Community moods: 45% “eerie,” 30% “tense,” 15% “annoyed” (mostly about vague puzzle hints). Critics praise the “clever environmental storytelling” but note “uninspired jump scares.” One user wrote: “The doll chase sequence is genius, but the final puzzle feels forced.” Achievements track puzzle completions and secret finds, with 100% requiring a 2-hour detour most skip.
PlayPile's Take
Riddlewood Manor is solid but niche. It shines for puzzle lovers who enjoy spooky settings, but the lack of difficulty scaling and repetitive stealth mechanics might frustrate. At $19.99, it’s a low-risk buy, especially if you own a Meta Quest. The 50 achievements add replay value, but don’t expect a gripping story. Skip if you’re easily startled, those doll encounters are relentless. Worth a playthrough for the atmosphere and clever set pieces, but not a must-buy.
